I finally make it this far down in my inbox, see this email, and find that I'm 2 weeks late! I feel so ashamed. 

And to top that off, right from the start, the title is sending warning signals. Three words? Really? You had to go there, of all places? I mean, that could mean I love you, I hate you, or any other number of terrible things that really shouldn't be said by anyone at this point in the story for the sake of my fragile mental and emotional health. Shame on you, too.

Aww! I'm loving this tea party. It's an awesome idea. Ah! And Chika speaks about something from last chapter. So they recognize what Inari was doing. Good. She's a jerk, everyone should know that.

Haha! Ryuu made me laugh. Poor Yasha. Everyone knows his strategy. Poor Yasha can't even hold his own in the verbal battle. It's just sad to watch him. I love how they sweat dropped at her statement. "It's true."

A nice wrap up from Ryuu. I really like that guy. He's a boss. I can just tell. I just know. Because he's awesome. 

I was so wrapped up in the Sessh/Kag drama, I totally forgot what her whole purpose was. Again, shame on me. But this is really nice, to see them not hating him. I wonder how he feels about it. It's not everday you get a compliment from the leader of the Sho rank when your entire group of subordinates hates you, and the Sho is above you. Awesome.

My heart just did a sad drop thingy. He's gone? And he didn't even say goodbye? What a jerk! I mean, I know the guy is still pretty sore about everything, but still. Not even a goodbye? Totally wrong, man. Shame on him.

Snap Rin. Why do you have to be so insightful all the time? I mean, she seriously just asked that question. That was awesome. And he just admits to it, like it's okay, I mean. Come on man. Be strong.

No! She just asked that question. How is he supposed to be strong when his ward is throwing lances at his heart? How? He can't kill her, so he has to wallow in grief and sorrow because she's got to bring up all this sad, touchy sensitive stuff. But... maybe that's punishment for leaving without saying anything.  Yeah. I can totally see that. Good move, sort of sadistic,  but deserved in this case. Maybe...

Oh, poor everyone! Rin, Sesshomaru, Kagome! Just poor them. I mean, come on. This is just sad now. Poor Rin.

Oh Snap! This is so actiony all of a sudden. Loving it! I love the fight scenes! Kill this guy Sesshomaru! Oh. These guys. There are five of them. Hm... I would say that's no good, but Sessh can take them, right? I can never tell with you... Wait. Does this mean Yasha isn't doing his job right? I hope not, things were going all right. This is sort of worriesome.

THEY'RE AFTER YASHA?!?!?! Who the his after him? The Jiki rank? Maybe Inari? Probably the former. I just threw Inari in there because she's a scheming jerk, so... snap. Poor Yasha. Or, good for Yasha. Someone's trying to kill him, but it's okay, because Sesshomaru is there instead?

Dark Magic? This so sucks! I hate this now. See! I knew I couldn't trust anyhing with you. Now he's all injured and stuff. Stupid dark magic.

Okay. Still, pretty wicked.  He's all, whatever. Who cares that I just got dark magicked? I'm gonna kill you now because I was only playing before.  Love it.

Oh snap. I hope she can do something about this. I mean, with Tsubaki and Menomaru she countered the dark magic instinctively. Can she do this? Oh snap! See what you're doing? You got me all worried. Shame on you for trying to kill Yasha and almost kill Sesshomaru! 

Oh snap. Wait a minute. Is he going to do some unconscious mutterings and say he loves her? Please no. I couldn't take it. But it won't happen. I know because you never do anything the way I think you will. I think I'm going to cry.

No! See! The format is making this worse. Upping the worry and the suspense and literal dread. Seriously,  not exaggerating.  There's dread.

What the...? I thought she was going to heal him. This is an abrupt twist that I did not suspect. Almost as bad as what I had been expecting, but still, not as bad. I knew I could count on you to be unpredictable!  A slight oxymoron, but I'm cool with that, so long as nothing weird happens when he wakes up. Please let her wake up first. Oh. I'm going to die, more dread.

And I'm dead. Shame on you for letting him wake up first! This is going to freak me out! I'm already freaking out!  How could you? This is awesome...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I literally screamed when I saw that he was looking at her lips! How could you let this happen!?!? You know I'm not in a good place right now!

Thank God. I almost for real had a heart attack.  I thought she was going to wake up! Thank God for whoever is on the other side of that door. I'm honestly glad that you aren't a complete sadist.

I screamed again when Kimi-chan came in. I can't handle this. I'm going to die.

Oh! Thanks, I like the way he handled that. I can deal with the stoicism and pain. Which probably makes me a terrible person, since my heart is going out to him but I'm still happier with this situation than if anything else would have happened.

Nicely done. I like that; it was a very Kagome thing to do. Yeah, I like that.

Oh my gosh! He's hugging her and laughing!  This guy is so bipolar, but I'm gushing right now, so I probably don't have the right to talk.

Oh snap! Those last few lines were awesome. And the silent I love you was even awesomer! You're awesome.

*tear*

Ooo...

That was so beautiful.... i mean... wow....

Im not.going to have any teeth left sith this story evert time I think were getting some whwre we start over.  Lovelt chPter though.. sigh await the next tooth

Oh my, Kagome is so funny. I would laugh at her too. I'm glad she was there for him. I hope they will begin to see the affection they have for each other is a two-way street. They're both too honorable for their own good somtimes. Just snog already!

the story every time i like  more .

bittersweet moment  =^_^=

However, I still think Inukimi should figure it out - Kagome's and Inu's situation.

Now I wonder who is trying to kill Inu. Bet Sess goes to war over this. The coward is not only attacking dishonorably, but attacking a Prince of the West.

:::hugs:::: I love you omg I love you, i love you, I love you my inter net when down so I was able to have two happy 

chapters this week. Now to go to bed and have fluffy dreams XD

up date before I wake up the fluffy lord demands if XD AND I GOT FRESH BAKED COOKIES

This story is so cute it's irresistible. I absolutely love it. At first I ignored it because I thought it would be one of those typical damsel in distress, fight with inuyasha, then suddenly fall in love with his brother story but it's not and I absolutely love that fact. You are shaking things up withSesshomaru being the kind of first to realize that he has feelings for his brother's intended and for Kagome to stay true to her promise despite having feelings for her "finacee's" brother. Brilliant!!! I sincerely hope you continue doing whatever it is you've been doing and hopefully update more often.

Omigosh! This is just simply amazing! You are out doing yourself, I can't wait for the next chapter!

Very interesting. I hope they find out who is behind all of this soon. But in the mean time it seems to be getting my favorite two closer together!!!

*chuckles* Love Kagome's rant. Completely justified I think. You had me worried for a minute when Sesshoumaru was injured. I love how you continue to keep the integrity of Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Very good. I'm happy with how things are progressing and can't wait for your next installment. Keep up the good work, ma'am!

I love this story! And now that Inuyasha is known not to think before going into battle... I really think inuyasha should be the one to point out the attraction to Kagome! Just sayin'

awwww love the chapter!!!!! i feel so bad for kagome and having to see sesshoumaru in that state but it was a good thing for her to see so that she could show him how she feels for him.......can't wait till next chapter :)

La! It's an update!!

Yay!! And like, when is Inuyasha going to read da signs?!

And Sesshomaru!! Just what do you think you're doing!!??

Gah! Men!

Aw! This is heartbreaking.

But I am unsure as why Inukimi has not figured it out. I can understand why Sesshomary has not figured out why Kagome refuses to end it with Inuyasha. Sesshomaru's heart after being touched is being torn apart by seeing her, smelling her, but unable to touch her or hold her as an intended mate should.

However, Inukimi is a third party to the drama so she should be able to figure out why Kagome is so insistent on mating Inuyasha. I think once Inukimi finds out and she starts investigating, she may find someone very close by that also has a love for Inu but like Sesshomaru might be holding back so as not to dishonor herself, Kagome, or Inu.

Cannot wait for more!

Good chapter, keep it coming.

If Sesshomaru could only get over the human part. His heart is wiser than his mind. 

T_T poorr sessho plzz inuyasha notice kagome has feelings for sessho I know u have other problems to think abt but plzzz 

I want to cry, but I reviewed for two chapters in a row so I'm also proud. Please keep up the great work, you have your own shoes to fill. 

is decided kagome by sesshomaru and that then send inuyasha to the devil
